It's A Sin

(Twenty seconds and counting...

T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)



When I look back upon my life

It's always with a sense of shame

I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too



    It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

    It's a sin

    Everything I've ever done

	Everything I ever do

    Every place I've ever been

    Everywhere I'm going to

	It's a sin



At school they taught me how to be

So pure in thought and word and deed

They didn't quite succeed

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too



    It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

    It's a sin

	  Everything I've ever done

    Everything I ever do

    Every place I've ever been

    Everywhere I'm going to

    It's a sin



Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it

Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it

Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it

Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care

And I still don't understand



So I look back upon my life

Forever with a sense of shame

I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too



    It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

    It's a sin

    Everything I've ever done

	  Everything I ever do

	 Every place I've ever been

    Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

	It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

	 It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin



(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,

verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)

		[trans.     'I confess to almighty god,

 	      and to you my brothers,

		   that I have sinned exceedingly

	       in thought, word, act and omission,

		through my fault, through my fault,

		 through my most grievous fault']
